Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rails, the Ruby web application framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities when JavaScript encoding is used, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
